For what it's worth, plenty of really talented people don't get hired by FANG or whatever your big 4 are--that's just a business thing, almost more chance than anything else. It doesn't reflect poorly on you as a person. People whining about your complaints are just failing at being empathetic. They lack the context or the decency to hear you out politely. It doesn't reflect poorly on you as a person. Not having $X_DOLLARS in your savings account due remittances back home (or, hell, whatever else you spend it on) doesn't mean you're a bad or a weak person. It just means you didn't or couldn't optimize for that account balance in your life. It doesn't reflect poorly on you as a person. For what it's worth, you mention that you spend 20 hours working, sleeping, and commuting. Sleep is important, but don't give the bastards more than 8 hours of your life per day (including commute) unless they're compensating you well for it. Valuing yourself and your time here about some corporate masters is important. It doesn't reflect poorly on you as a person.
